SAN ANGELO, TX — The San Angelo City Council will swear in newly elected officials, including the mayor and representatives from Single Member Districts 4 and 6, during its regular meeting Tuesday, May 20, at 8:30 a.m. at the McNease Convention Center.

Mayor Brenda Gunter will present certificates of election, and Judge Jay Daniel will administer the oaths of office. Mayor Tom Thompson will present plaques and service awards to outgoing council members. A public reception will follow the ceremony on the second floor. The regular agenda is scheduled to resume approximately 30 minutes later with the newly seated council.

The ceremony follows the council’s official canvassing of the May 3 election results. Thomas “Tom” Thompson won the mayoral race with 5,095 votes. Patrick Keely was elected to represent Single Member District 4, receiving 507 votes. In Single Member District 6, Mary Coffey ran unopposed and was declared elected.

A runoff election has been scheduled for Single Member District 2, where no candidate received a majority. Joe Self Jr., who earned 485 votes, will face Dudra Butler, who received 432 votes, in a runoff set for Saturday, June 7.

Among the items on the consent agenda, the council will consider authorizing the city manager to apply for and accept a grant from the Texas Motor Vehicle Crime Prevention Authority.
